What's your queue number ?

My number is 596

 

[mike_sp]

The actual floor plan with dimensions will only be provided to u during ur selection appt as different units have different dimensions, so they can only give it to u after u select unit

not in the brochure as silverboi said? Hmmm....

Confirm can knock, but need to apply permit from HDB and hire "qualified person" to oversee it.

Want to extend my kitchen so will be knocking it down.
Not worried about drying clothing as I will be getting a laundry dryer.

Definitely, a open concept kitchen will be oily and all if you deep fry stuff regularly.
However, with normal cooking and constant simple maintenance, should be alright de. I'm used to it so it isn't that bad.
Just need to get a deep fryer to deep fry food.
Good also lah, avoid unhealthy food mah. LOL!

How do you extend your kitchen?

 

[UpperCut]

is there anyone else here who is going to get the lower floors for the amk bto too? Although i m still a bit pek chek with the long waiting time for the scheduled appointment (2 jan 2013!!!), I hope when my turn comes, I still can get units which are around the optimal 5th or 6th storey, and no more higher...

I hope everyone thinks like you so I can get to choose high floor

The brochure will have floor plan of the stacks but no dimensions, it just show u the layout! And also, every stack will have slightly different measurements here and there. So the one they gave out during ur selection is the most accurate cause those are specific floor plans (exact dimensions included) for each stack each floor.

For those wanting the very top floor, do consider the heat. I am currently living in top floor unit ( only living room has executive on top ) the rest of house is empty on top. We really feel the heat at night.... Especially in kitchen and service balcony. Like an oven on days that don't rain.

Luckily rooms have roof built over too, but the kitchen being the exposed part is really hot

wah, like that 1 ah. dimension not standard for different floor? But I assume the difference is only like a few cm type?

drying laundry is the easy part... just use the dryer machine.. after living through so many years of life in an oven baked environment, i will never follow my parents footstep & go for the high floors - i do not want to go through the next 60,80 years of my life where i immediately sweat after just 1 minute out of the bathroom... the heat & sweat is no joke for high floors - super jialat.. ah well just hope i can select my low floor units on 2 jan 2013..

Every mth u see the electrical bill.u heart pain.i prefer natural ventilation.cheap and free.

I also like this. So far, I only on my new aircon for 3 times for testing. If not raining season, I put my wet clothings out the yard to dry (metal rod type- new hse) overnight, the next the clothing is blow dry already (yard got east sun). My hall got a bit of west sun, before I select my hse, My wife and I went to check at around 5+pm, the sun already shines at which floor level. I select the floor level with the least west sun(slightly lower floor from the top). A house with no sunlight also no good.

morning sun shine into bedroom is good but not sunset ...

 

[Snap11]

As in, I applied to live near them using MCPS within 2km. Not together in the same project or with them. But for the selection process I know I need to bring their ICs and marriage certs and my birth certs. It doesn't state i need to bring them. Can I safely assume that I just need documents and not their physical presence?

Yes just need to bring their original ic.

Hmm..seems like my colleague has given me wrong information.
He was quite adamant that the dimensions would be included in the brochures.

Excuse me for asking but where did you obtain information that you have to bring your parent's ICs and marriage cert?
I have also applied for MCPS although I have no idea if my queue number was a result of that.

Just want to ask, how do you apply using MCPS if you apply over the counter? i.e, HDB staff filling up the form for you through her computer? When I apply thr the counter, the lady didnt say anything, just ask for IC, ask us what estate and room type we applying for and some other stuff about our information. Never once ask us if we are applying under any of the scheme. If you have applied under any other scheme, do the acknowledgement form after applying from HDB specify it inside?
